I prefer orange over puke green any day of the week.
There are some greens I like but that is not one of them.

I had a Kawasaki green bug once and it looked really clean.

Orange with a pin striped flame job in silver, subtle, but it will break up the one solid color.

Personally im leaning towards green then orange .
I have been told orange paint fades easy? but this came from an old timer who used to own a pant shop in the 70's are new paints less likely to fad ?I dont want to go threw all this work for the car to only look good for a couple of years. |

Orange does not fade anymore than other darker colors like red. Adding a clear coat helps for any color. Also a car cover if it sets outside.
If you do go green when your friends throw up after riding with you it will not be as noticable.

How about orange and green camo, It would hurt to look at it so no one would see you. The US Navy had ships painted what they called "Dazzle camouflage" around 1910 that supposedly the human eyes had a hard time seeing it.

hmmm... I didn't pick my green color, but I like it more tan orange.
if you did go green, keep the bumpers, roll cage, etc a neutral color (black?). the brightness is too much sometimes.
I like the bright camo idea, thought about it myself, or zebra stripes in orange green?
